Known for its accuracy and ruggedness at an attractive price point, the M18 features a cold-hammer-forged German-steel barrel, three-position safety and adjustable trigger that allows users to set their preferred pull weight ranging from 2.25 to 4.25 pounds. The 60-degree oversized bolt with three locking lugs and two extractor pins allows for quick and smooth cycling of cartridges from the rifle’s standard five-round magazine. Ten-round magazines are also available.

“The new Mauser M18 Savanna presents the opportunity for even more American hunters to experience the benefits of German engineering and manufacturing,” said Jason Evans, CEO of Blaser Group. “This ultra-rugged rifle is a true value delivering superior reliability, durability, and accuracy in its class.”
